Nine months brings with it constant change and seems like a transitional age as she's no longer a newborn but not quite yet a toddler. Every day is a new adventure for Charli as she changes so quickly. Meet Charli at nine months old:
Hot topic: Food. She's eating 2 meals a day (which is a change from this) and goes bonkers over Cheerios and multi-grain crackers. Tonight, in between double-fisting Cheerios into her mouth, she had her first meat ever- roast chicken
Mobility Stats: She still refuses to crawl but easily scooches around furniture.
Teeth Stats: You can see the bottom two through the skin on her gums so they're c
oming soon!
Language Stats: No words yet but she's always chatting about something, making all kinds of sounds. Since she first started making sounds she's made a chirping noise when happy. Today a bird outside her window actually chirped back and forth with her a few times. It was pretty fantastic.
Favorite thing to do: We let her stand holding onto the back of a dining room chair and place another one within arms reach. She loves going back and forth between them. This usually lasts for 15 minutes and then I hear a desperate little cry as her arm inevitably gets stuck. Chair hopping of course would easily be beaten out by 'eating paper' but I'm learning to keep all paper goods out of her reach so she seldom gets that extra fiber added to her diet these days. However, in the past months her tummy has seen small amounts of Joel's business cards, an electric bill, The Economist, Family Circle and tissue paper (yes, the kind you wrap prezzies with and yes, it melts incredibly fast when wet).
Easiest way to get her laughing: Playing with her Daddy.
Newest development: Snuggling. She's always loved contact with people but she's usually such a squiggle bug. Right before naps and putting her to bed though, she's starting to like just being held by us. Best feeling ever!
